Novak seems to have changed his racket from Wilson to Head, apparently the almight Federer questioned the logic on doing this so close to a GS, Novak said he didn't want to get into that discussion. Niemenen kept targetting his forehand because he was making so many errors on it.

With his dramatic loss of form towards the end of last year I suppose he thought it might it might help and the only realistic time to do it would be the closed season. It must be akin to a golfer changing putter and if it gives renewed confidence then why not try it out.

If it helped it would have been a master stroke and if it does not it would be a waste of time with the problems ultimately elsewhere in his game.

Can't get to 2 yet, might have to wait until Wimbledon time if he can improve on the clay. I wouldn't bank on Djok reaching the semis. Defeats to Nieminen and Gulbis are hardly going to scare the rest of the field.
